Spain leads Switzerland 4-1 in their head-to-head series with the most recent victory coming in 2007, a 3-2 win in Geneva. Switzerland actually won the first tie between the two nations - in Barcelona back in 1946 - but proceeded to lose the next four.
Spain, the reigning champion, has dominated the competition for the last decade having been crowned champion four times, including back-to-back victories in 2008 and 2009. The Spanish team is unbeaten in 18 home ties stretching back to 1999 when Brazil was the visitor.
Switzerland maintained its place in the World Group after triumphing over Italy in the play-offs. The Swiss team's best Davis Cup performance came back in 1992 when it finished as runner-up.
